Chapter 776 Little Patient

Guardian of Life In the early morning of late winter, the cold wind blew through the city streets like a knife, rolling up tiny snowflakes flying in the air. The emergency building of the Municipal Hospital was brightly lit, and the sound of ambulance sirens broke the silence from time to time. Lin Yuan had just finished an 8-hour heart bypass surgery, leaning tiredly on a chair in the lounge, his hands trembling slightly. As the chief physician of the hospital's cardiac surgery department, such high-intensity work has long been commonplace for him. But today's operation was particularly difficult. The patient was a 45-year-old father with elderly parents and young children. The success or failure of the operation was related to the fate of a family. "Director Lin, a critically ill patient was sent to the emergency room. The aortic dissection ruptured and the situation was very critical!" The nurse's hurried voice sounded in the corridor. Lin Yuan immediately got up and rushed to the emergency room. The patient on the cart was as pale as paper, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. He clutched the bed sheet tightly with both hands and groaned in pain. Aortic dissection is called a "human bomb". Once it ruptures, the patient will die from heavy bleeding within a few minutes. "Prepare for surgery immediately! Notify the anesthesia department and the extracorporeal circulation department, and everyone is on standby!" Lin Yuan gave instructions while quickly checking the patient's various examination reports. The patient's blood pressure continued to drop, and the situation was urgent. The atmosphere in the operating room was extremely tense. Under the shadowless lamp, Lin Yuan was fully focused, and the scalpel in his hand accurately cut open the patient's chest. The patient's aorta had been torn, and blood was constantly pouring out, staining the entire surgical field red. Lin Yuan was calm and composed. With years of experience and superb skills, he skillfully performed vascular anastomosis, hemostasis, and repair. Every movement was as steady as a rock, and every operation was accurate. The operation lasted for a full 6 hours. When Lin Yuan successfully completed the last stitch and confirmed that the patient's vital signs were gradually stabilizing, he found that his back had been soaked in sweat and his legs were numb from standing for a long time. After leaving the operating room, the patient's family members anxiously surrounded him. When they heard the news of the successful operation, they knelt down to express their gratitude with tears in their eyes. Lin Yuan quickly helped them up, with a relieved smile on his tired face: "This is what we should do, take good care of the patient." However, Lin Yuan's work did not end there. Back in the office, he began to study the medical records of the next patient. This was a child with complex congenital heart disease, only 3 years old, and the heart deformity was extremely rare. There were very few cases available for reference at home and abroad, and the risk of surgery was extremely high. But Lin Yuan did not flinch at all. He consulted a lot of literature, organized expert consultations, and repeatedly discussed the surgical plan with the team, striving to be foolproof. The day before the operation, Lin Yuan came to the ward to visit the little patient. The child was lying on the bed, looking at him curiously with big eyes, and asked innocently: "Uncle, will I get better?" Lin Yuan gently held the child's hand and said softly: "I will, don't be afraid, uncle will fix your little heart and let you play happily like other children." The child smiled brightly after hearing this, and this smile made Lin Yuan more determined to perform the operation. On the day of the operation, the atmosphere in the operating room was solemn and depressing. Lin Yuan led the team to perform each step carefully. The structure of the heart is complex and delicate, and the slightest carelessness will lead to serious consequences. Under the microscope, Lin Yuan's hands flexibly operated the instruments, and each suture was accurate to millimeters. Time passed by minute by minute, and after a 10-hour battle, the operation was finally successfully completed. The little patient's heart resumed normal beating, and the steady waveform on the monitor seemed to be the most beautiful music. In addition to saving lives and healing the wounded in the hospital, Lin Yuan also actively participated in public welfare medical activities. He often went to remote mountainous areas to provide free medical services to the residents there. Once, he and the medical team came to a small mountain village with inconvenient transportation. When the villagers learned that experts from a large hospital were coming, they waited at the entrance of the village early. Lin Yuan ignored the fatigue of the long journey and immediately devoted himself to the diagnosis and treatment. During the examination, he found that an old man suffered from severe coronary heart disease and needed surgery as soon as possible. But the old man's family was poor and could not afford the high medical expenses. Lin Yuan looked at the old man's turbid eyes and wrinkled face, and his heart was full of pity. He decided to fight for the hospital's public welfare relief quota for the old man, and at the same time contacted charities to raise surgical expenses for the old man. In the end, with Lin Yuan's efforts, the old man successfully completed the operation and regained his life. However, the doctor's road is not smooth sailing. During a rescue of a critically ill patient, although Lin Yuan and the team tried their best, the patient unfortunately died due to his serious illness. The patient's family could not accept this fact, and they accused Lin Yuan emotionally and even attacked him personally. Lin Yuan silently endured all this, without any excuses, but bowed deeply to apologize. At that moment, his heart was filled with self-blame and helplessness. Doctors are also human beings. They try their best, but they can't defeat all diseases. Back home, Lin Yuan looked at the night sky outside the window and couldn't fall asleep for a long time. His wife walked to him and hugged him gently: "Don't blame yourself too much, you have tried your best." Lin Yuan sighed: "I know, but every life is extremely precious. It's really hard for me to see them leave." His wife comforted him: "It is because of doctors like you that so many lives have been saved. You have done a good job." His wife's words cheered Lin Yuan up again. He understands that the road of medicine is full of challenges and unknowns, but he can't give up because of a failure. The next day, he returned to work in high spirits and continued to protect the lives of patients. As time went by, Lin Yuan's medical skills became more and more sophisticated and famous. But he always kept his original intention and treated every patient like a family member. He often said: "Doctors should not only treat patients' bodies, but also heal their hearts." His office is full of banners and thank-you letters sent by patients. Behind each banner and each letter, there is a touching story, which embodies the patients' deep gratitude to him. Many years later, Lin Yuan has trained batches of outstanding medical talents. He often said to his students: "As doctors, we shoulder the heavy responsibility of life and cannot tolerate any carelessness. We must always maintain awe of life and use our professional knowledge and love to help every patient." In Lin Yuan's career, he saved countless lives and witnessed the joys and sorrows of countless families. He interpreted the true meaning of a doctor's benevolence with his actions, became the guardian of life in the hearts of patients, and became a banner in the medical community, inspiring generations of doctors to keep moving forward on the road of saving the dying and healing the wounded.
